"It was amazing! I have never been very familiar with or a big fan of sleeping beauty, preferring stories like snow white and the little mermaid but this book is making me rethink that. I had also never read anything by this author but now I am looking forward to reading more of her books. I loved Jack and Talia and all of the characters. At first, I liked Talia, and then she started acting super bratty but she got a lot better towards the middle of the book and I loved her again. She changed her attitude into something that could be admired. I have always wanted to read or write a fairytale that could be pulled off in modern times and this book was definately that. I loved the way the author made the story go from one era to another without a confusing time travel explaination. I also loved how the language from Tailia 's time was mixed into the modern time. I am looking forward to reading more from this incredible author!"

"Each chapter is a different point of view. This is a modern retelling of the story of sleeping beauty. "

"I read Alex Flinn’s ‘Beastly’ when I was in high school and really enjoyed and so when I came across this book I loved the idea of another modern retelling of a classic fairy tale. It was good but very angsty."
